Visitor Reviews of Villars


David H from Switzerland writes:

Returning home this Sunday and already looking forward to returning back to Villars in Mid February. Pistes in excellent condition and no waiting for lifts. Looking forward to further snow during early February to top up the pistes. Nice new eating place at base of gondola called Tom's, nice food and good service.
